Provided the HEPA filter in a Honeywell air purifier is vacuumed several times a year, it can be reused. The pre-filter cannot be reused because the carbon is no longer effective after three months.

Other air purifier models listed on the Honeywell Store website, such as the QuietClean Tower Air Purifier, claim to have permanent filters that can simply be rinsed clean with water and reused.
